Make mine coconut cream: National Pi day

And so it is National Pi Day. You geeks and math nerds out there — who either are or soon will be running the world and our lives — already knew that.

So go ahead, celebrate it by carrying it to the 25th decimal point. Find the circumference of a circle. Or celebrate Pi with a pie of your choosing.

And remember: Pie are round; cornbread are square.

Alas, there are rumblings that Pi might have met its match. Some number nerds are pushing “tau,” which is Pi multiplied by two, says CNN.

Why, you ask. CNN quotes an anti-Pi rebel that “circles are most naturally defined by their radius. Tau would be the ratio of the circumference to radius of the circle, while pi is circumference to diameter.”

For some, this is half-Tau day. Still hope we can have coconut cream on June 28th.
